Define risks

Define the same risks as you have described in your Operational Authorisation. Risks are used in your flightplan and have mitigations to ensure your flightplan preparation results in a safe flight.

How to carry out a drone risk analysis

There are several ways to conduct a risk analysis for a drone flight operation, depending on the specific requirements and regulations of the location and the size of the operation. Here is a general roadmap for a drone risk analysis:

Identify the specific threats and risks related to the drone flight operation, such as technical issues, weather conditions, human failure, and regulatory issues.
Evaluate the impact and likelihood of events that could lead to the threats and risks identified.
Determine the control measures that can be taken to reduce or eliminate the risks.
Establish a plan to implement the control measures and monitor them during flight operations.
Regularly review and evaluate the risk analysis and control measures to ensure they are up-to-date and effective.

Keep in mind that a risk analysis should be specific to the situation and regularly updated.

It is also important to mention that conducting a risk analysis alone is not enough, it is also important to have a safety management system, and to implement and keep it up to date.

Last but not least, it is important to follow regulations for drone flights, such as obtaining licences, flying in specific areas and following flight procedures.
